Narrative Lectionary Key Verse for Today
“For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.”
NL Daily Devotion for Wednesday, March 18, 2020

I admit that I think a lot about death these days. I’m in my late 40s and it’s a gift that my parents are still living. But I see them getting older and I think about what I know is coming in the future . . . they’ll be gone.
I know, too, that one day, my two boys will have to deal with me being gone. I will be gone. I will die.
There. I said it.
The hope of the resurrection I know in my head. But sometimes, I wish it would permeate my heart a bit easier. Today’s story emphasizes that our existence will be different than we know it while we’re still alive.
The hope lies in the fact that we are God’s. We will always belong to God.
God, hear my daily struggles. Take them in. Offer me hope. Amen.
